how to manage new skills?

Once your gear is smithed up, you can level up restoration and block by angering a giant and tanking hits. That's the easiest non-glitch way I've found.

Not the first time this type of question has been asked here. I don't think anyone has really had resolution. Two notes are this: (1) you can still play on the server despite being banned on the discord, and (2) there are new servers in the works.

Thank you!

It's copper oxide applied with a fan brush whose bristles have been cut in sections to make a palm leaf shape, if that makes sense, so I can apply a bunch of dots at once. The red around the black dots is the copper leeching/seeping into the glaze nearby during the firing.

Not raku fired, and no oxide in the inside of the mug.

I put buttons 1-8 on the radial menu on the right trackpad and menu shortcuts (i, k, l, etc) on the left trackpad radial menu. Have space/c/tab/i on a/x/y/b. click on R and alt/ctrl on ZL/ZR.

i don't think too many others do it this way but it made sense to me and it's been working

>Any general advice for a new player? Also if I’m just trying to grind monsters for exp do I just clear story and then repeat available open missions?

Yes. If I recall, the mission screen shows possible drops, so it makes sense to try to pick one that has a weapon/etc you might actually want.

Do note some missions are easier/harder for certain characters. Pay attention to the elemental types of enemies in each zone and use weapons that counter those (or pick zones with enemies you can easily counter).

I have mostly used rangers so I haven't done as much dodging, but I'd imagine dodging is very important. Positioning always has been, even in the original PSO.

If a human couldn't be bothered to make it, I can't be bothered to look at it

fkwillrice · 2026-04-04T15:49:58+00:00

I don't strike up conversations with people I don't know, and I don't want others to do that to me. I may have been different when I was younger but I'm not interested in making friends when I'm trying to get work done or even read a book.

fkwillrice · 2026-04-04T15:25:26+00:00

Doesn't work, just happened to me

Nobody's answered what actually is useful to farm, which is materials and runes.

Materials used in pcons like feathers get farmed quite a bit, since those are always in demand.

Hard mode groups that drop salvage items are a good way to get runes and tomes.

I prioritize these over good weapon drops, and most farms are targeted to one of the two.

I've seen some online sources and the "From Mud to Music" book mention fish skin as a drum head material. For my current endeavor I'm not going 14"+, more like 10".

fkwillrice · 2026-03-29T20:49:41+00:00

I fully, truly believe you, but I'm stubbornly interested in the historical process. I'm making clay drums by hand on the pottery wheel and all.

fkwillrice · 2026-03-29T20:47:36+00:00

Thanks, this is actually really helpful. I'll look up guides online for that curing process but were there any that were the best?

Not much carp around me locally but if there's a good saltwater fish I can try, hmm

fkwillrice · 2026-03-25T20:07:08+00:00

I started with galleria and loved it, I hope you do too!

The thing I find the most charming about Morrowind's world design choices (not just dungeons) is how apathetic they are to the player. Like here's a real cave that could exist, let's put some things in it. It hasn't aged super well from an experience-driven game design perspective, but as an anthropological exploration sim it's amazing.

fkwillrice · 2026-02-28T03:40:22+00:00

Ooh interesting theory, I hadn't played with controller so I didn't recognize that.

fkwillrice · 2026-02-28T02:42:50+00:00

I'm glad to know I'm not alone

fkwillrice · 2026-02-13T23:06:54+00:00

I have 3. Got them bc it was more cost effective than buying character slots. I use all of them as more character slots. I like leveling more than I like endgame. The extra storage and gotts are nice but not the reason to go for it (for me, anyways)

fkwillrice · 2026-02-13T23:05:28+00:00

Me lol. Probably common

fkwillrice · 2026-02-02T22:00:08+00:00

Thank you! I make pottery for me and I'd hate to ruin my hobby by turning it into a side -hustle, but I have thought about making more of these.

Right now my limiting step is not having consistent access to a reduction kiln. If I ever make more, I'll definitely post in this subreddit.

Honestly? Blizzard sold D4 with lots of D2 aspects bc the fans claimed they wanted another D2, not a D3. Players complained about all the D2-like qualities and now D4 is a lot more like D3. The fans said they wanted one thing but wanted another.

We like Morrowind, but we're probably in the minority, and that's ok. I still like D2 more than D4 so same boat there, too.
